"Marigolds" is told from the perspective of Lizabeth, giving her the opportunity to relate her emotions and thoughts about the events in the story. Pretend that you are Miss Lottie and are relating the same events from her point of view. Consider the significance of the marigolds, and the impact their destruction would have on her character. Your narrative of at least 300 words should contain details from the text, as well as your own descriptive language.

Answer and Explanation:

Day after day my only happiness, rest and peace has been the constant care that I have with my marigolds. I have been taking care of them for a long time and seeing them grow strong, beautiful and healthy has been my only and greatest achievement. As I watch my marigolds dancing on the sway of the wind and shining in the sunlight, I forget the difficult time that my country is going through, if I have the marigolds, I can take it. I forget my loneliness and the neighbors' rule, if I have the marigolds, I can take it. I forget the ugly and joyless environment in which I live, if I have the marigolds I can take it. I also forget the difficulties of taking care of a handicapped child alone, if I have the marigolds I can take it. Marigolds are all that give me peace, hope, beauty and happiness.

However, Lizabeth jealous of my prosperity took the marigolds from me, what I loved most, the treasure of my life. I couldn't do anything but become as miserable as she was. I lost my strength and my motivation and I cannot avoid spending my days in extensive melancholy until the day of my death.
